Chris Matthews is threatened by Joy Reid

[redstateblues]

She kicked his ass just a few minutes ago. He is very hostile to her.

1. Wow, I can exactly picture what you are describing.

To his credit, though, when that happens to him, I've seen him come back on another night seeming to have pondered what the other person said.

[PatSeg]

10. Yeah, he does do that

I don't know if he slows down and rethinks what he has said or if his producer(s) point it out to him. He gets rather hyper active at times and doesn't know how to downshift. That is usually when he starts talking over every one, pretty much like he did tonight. The next time Joy is on his show, he will tell her how "great" she is and gush all over her. Very odd, but predictable.

2. It shows, eh? sounds like him from what I've

read on du. Why be hostile to another msnbc colleague?

Weren't they all just gushing over new addition, greta?

[eleny]

3. Definitely

He smacks her down when he gets the chance. Also, David Corn gets quieted a lot on his show.

I haven't watched his show since the election so I don't know if he still lords it over Corn. But I clearly recall how disrespectful he is to Reid, too. Corn and Reid are miles smarter than CM who is a major kiss-ass and butt licker of too many Republican guests.

4. I wish they'd give both his hour and Greta's to Joy.

5. It's too bad Chris's old boss Tip O'neill isn't alive to set him straight!

[Raster]

6. Tweety views himself as THE AUTHORITY when it comes to politics...

...and frankly, he can't hold a candle to Joy Reid.

And again, Hugh Hewitt is fucking worthless.

7. He Should Fear Her

He lost me with his schoolgirl like gushing over Dubya after Dubya's fake victory aircraft carrier landing. I remember thinking sheesh get a room Chris.

Of course now he claims he was against Bush from the start.

16. Really, yikes that was light years ago. He has been a pretty damn good proponent for our cause

lately. Hate that he fucked up tonight. Didn't see it. I would say he's about 75% dem - which is pretty good for mass media.

8. I hope a clip gets posted. I can't take an hour of Tweety. I noticed during the campaign coverage

he seemed to dismiss Joy out of hand, repeatedly. He does the same to David Corn. He rarely lets David finish a thought before interrupting. As someone asked upthread, "wasn't he due to retire after the election"?

[notdarkyet]

9. I got the same vibe from Chris to Joy. Very threatened by her.

He likes dipshits like Kelli who put her hand on his leg. I can't stand Chris. I only watched because I like joy.

[SharonAnn]

11. He's past his "sell by" date. Politics todayday is different, he doesn't get it.

[dhol82]

12. I remember when he dumped on Rachel as a know-nothing wannabe

Found out later that she was a Rhodes Scholar with a PhD from Oxford. Got all contrite. Yeah, like really?

Man knows how to put down competition. Not.

13. Matthews is Hostile to Strong Women

Matthews gets hostile toward strong women. This was only a matter of time.

[dem4decades]

14. He had Conway this week and let her filibuster the whole time. It's

CNN and Erin at 7 o'clock for me from here on in. I checked the ratings and it appears she beats Matthews nightly in that time slot.

[AgadorSparticus]

18. If she is kicking his butt, then GOOD!!!! They ALL need to get their butt kicked by her!!

He needs to assess why he sucks so much.Perhaps just perhaps, he should do his job and call people out on their shit. I doubt it will happen but I am still pulling for him to get his head out of his ass. C'mon, tweety, you can do it!!!

[adigal]

15. Over what? Context please? Nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. exactly - want to know too

19. Noticed that! Was just walking through when his show

was on and heard him snap at her something like he was tired of the psychobabble. Then he went on to babble saying scholars can disagree, which I guess meant to not attack Donald's insanity. But even the GOP has been calling Trump mentally unstable, so he'll have to get used to it.

On another note, I saw them both live on California primary day at the Santa Monica Pier. I got pictures! Chris sat outside for awhile waiting for the show and mostly had his back to the crowd. Joy came later and posed for pictures with fans. They greeted each other nicely that day, but I can see Chris get agitated with her like he did today. Joy can run circles around him, she is so smart and incisive. He's not.
